I would love to have Darrell Armstrong at the 3rd point. Despite being 36 or 37, he still has a little quickness to drive to the basket, can shoot the wide open 3, and can really get after it on D. Although he cannot play a lot of minutes cause his body would break down. This kinda would remind me when the Spurs signed Porter as insurance for AD in 1999 after the Spurs won the title.

The kind of minutes a 3rd point guard would get: slim to none, at least in the regular season.
My real hope is that since Earl Watson missed out on being signed several places, he'll decide that money isn't important and sign with S.A. for the rest of the MLE. [/impossible dream]

Armstrong would not replace Beno. Neither would have Brunson.
Let Barry play backup point until next year when speedy becomes available.
Also, at the end of tight ball games it doesn't matter who the point guard is because Manu has the ball 90% of the time.
Darrell Armstrong is inept at shooting!?!?!Quote:
That said, can we find that in a different player who isn't so inept at shooting?
Wow......
If the Spurs sign Watson, wich I agree will be impossible.Quote:

Then they would have to trade Beno.
Watson aint old, hes still pretty young, so youd be looking at the Parker Watson combo and Beno would be on the outside lookin in.
That's my impossible dream too. Backup PG has been a chronic Spurs problem dating back to at least 01-02. Only decent and temporary solution was Speedy. It would be nice to solve this problem.Quote:

Spurs need a 3rd PG because Tony is playing over the summer, so wil invariably tire out by midseason, and Beno is still very green. They need a PG who can play minimal to no minutes most of the time, but who can fill in in a pinch.
My question is, what's up with Mike Wilks? He seemed to fill this role OK, and I haven't heard him getting a lot of other looks.
So much for the Darrell Armstrong idea. He just re-upped with Dallas this afternoon.
Rather have Van Exel. (fingers crossed)
Alex Garcia. Now. End of debate.
Is he healthy?Quote:

Kori- last I heard he has recovered perfectly from his surgury. You might want to ask Grande, though, as he would know better than I.
But DAMN I love that kid.
Yes. He was playing in something called the Electrobras games. There's a thread on RealGM that discuss it and him.Quote:

I want them to add Darren Brooks, and make him the 3rd pg. With some development, he'd fit right in to the Spurs system. He was the MVC player of the year/Defensive player of the year each of the last 2 years. The Mavericks cut him a couple of weeks ago.
We dont need a back up PG. We have Barry and Manu who can also handle the point. For goodness sakes. Our need now is the 3. We need to get a solid backup for Bowen. And that guy is McKie. Not Finley. Not NVE. Please and no Demarr Johnson.
I believe Andre Barret from the rookie camp can also be considered to be a 3rd backup. He is young and fast and already has nba experience.
